Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

Managed to get my first “RTW” itinerary booked, so thanks to those that helped above.

Also made my first attempt at adding additional flights to the booking via the call centre with no luck…the operator was adamant that it wouldn’t let them price the change because you “can’t add additional flights after booking”.

Decided to give FB messenger a go instead and to my surprise it was quite painless!

Mentioned that I had issues with the call centre actioning my request, provided all of the required details and they called me back to authorise the request and pay the additional taxes. Received my updated E-Ticket within 20-30 minutes!

Obviously YMMV, but may be a good option for those struggling with the call centre.
Awesome outcome with FB Messenger.

What contact details did you use on FB Messenger?
 
Hi everyone,
I'm now trying to make itinerary from Perth to Lima(Peru), then to Canada, to Tokyo, and back to Perth.
I have been able to find the flights from PER to LAX (via Nadi), however I just can not go anywhere further beyond LAX.
I'm even thinking of organise own segment between LAX to Lima (hopefully AA flight be available for QFF, though).
So PER-LAX-some Canadian airport (Vancouver, Montreal etc)-Tokyo- PER. This doesn't look too complicated, however seems impossible to find reward flights.... Any advice??
Thank you in advance!

What dates are you looking to travel?

I managed to get some flights from Vancouver to Japan last week for late April 2026
 
Is there a reason you want to go via LAX? Last week there was availability from SYD-SCL from which should be easy to get a connection to LIM.

It doesn’t have to be LAX.
I didn’t have any luck finding flights to SCL ….
The error message (change your departure or arrival city and try again) comes up for the search SYD-SCL😩.

Oh, hang on… when I deleted Perth departure it is showing SYD-SCL 🎉.
I will search further using this route. Thank you for the advice!
